Description

An accelerator-driven, sub-critical molten-salt nuclear system that centrally produces large quantities of tritium for fusion energy. By pairing accelerator-driven subcritical operation with molten-salt chemistry, the system offers a controllable, safety-forward pathway to produce fusion fuel, recover useful energy and convert legacy nuclear liabilities into strategic energy assets. Overview: The Accelerator-Driven Sub-Critical Molten-Salt Assembly (ADS+MSA) is a centralized nuclear facility that uses a high-power particle accelerator coupled to a liquid molten-salt system to reliably produce kilogram-scale quantities of tritium. Because the system is sub-critical, nuclear reactions only occur when driven by the accelerator, providing inherent safety and operational control. By combining p
